UFC 278, the Las Vegas-based promotion's next pay-per-view offering, goes down this Saturday in Salt Lake City, Utah. All eyes are on the card's main event: a welterweight title fight between champ Kamaru Usman and challenger Leon Edwards.
The Nigerian-American Usman, widely considered the top pound-for-pound fighter in MMA today, will be looking for his sixth defense of the UFC welterweight title after thwarting Colby Covington (twice), Jorge Masvidal (twice), and Gilbert Burns since he won the belt with a decision win over Tyron Woodley.
Edwards, a native of Birmingham in the United Kingdom, will be getting his first crack at UFC gold.
